You might think that standing up while you tan would cause an unnaturally darkened scalp, but this never happens at Hollywood Tans. That's because their arsenal of signature stand-up tanning booths create an always even, natural-looking glow in as little as eight minutes. With more than 140 locations nationwide, the chain’s salons—each a veritable bronze mine for pale bodies—can also bronze physiques Mystic Tan’s Instant Tan, a sunless formula that does not contain dangerous UV-rays or infectious California boy-band harmonies. The tone-savvy staff can also help customers choose the Instant Tan formula best suited to them, matching the bronzing serums to the each person's skin tone, type, and ideal look.

The team at Clique Salon & Spa sees no reason to visit a spa only to stress over which services to try. That's why a spa coordinator is always on hand to help guests navigate the spa menu's cornucopia of aromatic massages, oatmeal pedicures, and Aveda facials. After discussing the client's skin type and any other considerations, the coordinator will be able to suggest just the treatment or spa package for unwinding.
Elsewhere inside Clique's vibrant, yellow and orange salon space, stylists await with shears, color, special conditioners, and those big capes they use to make clients feel like superheroes. In addition to cuts and special-occasion updos, the hair artists are adept with weave extensions, cornrows, twists, and locks.

The Make Up Parlour's name doesn't tell the whole story, as its staff members beautify more than just faces. Of course, they expertly apply full faces of makeup, eyelash extensions, and boosts to brow color. But they also offer hair services for men and women, including trendy cuts, bold color and highlights, and numerous styles for natural and relaxed locks. They round out their services with skin-brightening facials, waxing sessions, and manicures in vivid colors. For clients who want to combine The Make Up Parlour's beautifying treatments, the salon offers wedding, makeup, and party packages.

Ancient people in ancient times got perfect ancient tans while standing up because the lying-on-the-ground-for-bronzing purposes had not yet been attempted. Hollywood Tans' friendly staff takes a page out of the history books by implementing highly hygienic vertical tanning to deliver even, 360-degree coloration without the stress of bulb marks and pressure points one gets from horizontal tanning beds. With your month of unlimited tanning, you can usurp a summary glow while standing up in one of Hollywood's state-of-the-art HT60 booths.

Q&A with Christina, Owner
When and how did you first realize you wanted to be involved in hair styling?
Since childhood, [when I was] always doing [my] friends' and family's hair.
Part of being a good stylist is mastering the art of conversation. What are some pro tips for talking to strangers?
Always try to find out their interest and build the conversation around that. Asking about their kids are always a great way to start as everyone loves to talk about their kids.

Joyce McNally, a makeup artist certified with the American Academy of Micropigmentation, likes to tell her clients that "less is more." That's because her permanent-makeup services typically function not as dark, smoky add-ons, but as natural-looking touches that have an anti-aging effect.
For example, after previewing the look with regular makeup, she fills in brows with light, feathering strokes, shaping the arches to better frame the client's unique facial structure. Her eyeliner applications are just as meticulous?they outline the lid between the lashes for total coverage and draw attention to the eye without looking overdone. Joyce also brings fullness to lips with careful shading and can even correct past permanent-makeup procedures to fix off-putting colors or shapes.
